Such a table would need to updated manually. Maybe we can use the existing systems to generate that information automatically. In http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/translation/ are the materials for the "Improving the FreeBSD Translation Tools" presentation I gave at AsiaBSDCon last week, and will be giving at BSDCan in June. There is a docdates.sh script there which queries the doc repository for translations. We can already add MAINTAINER variables to the translation Makefiles. That script is 90% of the way to showing the information on how recently a translation has been updated and who is maintaining it. Then we would not need to manually maintain a table with that information. As shell scripts go, I'd say it is less terrible than many, and probably not too hard to modify. But I don't know when I'd be able to work on it myself, and help is welcome with that.
